jimmymio Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 i had been working in 64 bit but switched to 32 to use the "export audio to movie". The original dialogue and sound fx exported but none of the music I had composed. After several hours and dozens of attempts I gave up and made a bounce of my composition. Then I purchased QT pro and was able to import the bounce that way. But I had to readjust levels and all my automation was off a smidge. Any ideas why I couldn't bounce the audio within Logic?

Jordi Torres Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Then I purchased QT pro Why? You do have Logic Studio (Logic Pro plus the other apps), don't you? If you do, Quicktime becomes the Pro version automatically. No need to buy it again. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi Torres Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ouch indeed Anyway, did you try again to export audio to movie? Should work fine. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymio Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 No it does not. That's why I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 And this is with Quicktime 7 (Pro) running in your computer, right? More details about the process would help (settings, etc)? There's not much to it, really. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymio Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 There's not much to it, really. I know that's why it's so confusing. I import the movie. It includes dialog and FX. I write the music and it all plays back nicely in Logic. But when i "export audio to movie" - I get a QT movie with video, dialog, FX but no music. I experimented with the settings but i started out with the default settings: Linear PCM, Stereo L/R, 44.1k, normal quality 32 bits and I left the "little endian" and "floating point" box checked.

ski Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 The default values are wrong (by default LOL!) but it doesn't matter, because when you export to QT the audio file is going to end up being 16 bits anyway (even if your tracks are at 24 bits). Sigh. Second, the sample rate for film and TV is 48K, so you might want to watch that... Now... why it's not exporting? The only thing I can think of is that you're not routing your mix out of the Stereo Output (Output 1/2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymio Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 TNow... why it's not exporting? The only thing I can think of is that you're not routing your mix out of the Stereo Output (Output 1/2). BINGO!!! Thanks a million. My system is set up to use output 5-6. I'm sure I can figure out a workaround now.[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 You're welcome a million! Check this out... now, I haven't tried this myself, but it might be just the ticket... It's a theory... When it comes to exporting audio to a QT movie I believe that Logic expects the audio to be outputting from Stereo Output (Out 1/2). However, it could be different from that; it might be that Logic will export audio to a movie based on the setting of the Stereo I/O parameter, as seen in the pic below (Audio Prefs). So here's my suggestion... change this to Output 5/6 and try exporting your audio to the movie. If that works, there's your answer! (I'd test this myself but I'm in the middle of a project). Please post back if indeed this works for you. Regards, Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 OK, so there's the answer then... Logic will only export audio to a QT if it's outputting from the Stereo Out. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey but at least i know what the issue is and can figure out a workaround. Thanks again. JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
